Root Password is known. Upgrading, Removing or Adding Software to Solaris 10

(1)

This document describes the required steps to upgrade, remove or add software to Solaris 10 on the SunFire v120. In this example I removed all additional software packages.

I’ve outlined this cheat-sheet with values of my test lab. This should work on other Sun Hardware with LOM interface as well. You can also use this procedure to change values, if you have screwed up some config files.

Preparation

1. Have a PC or Notebook ready with a terminal program. If you don’t remember the root password, make sure, your terminal program can send “breaks”

2. Connect Console Cable with LOM (serial A) and your notebook 3. Start terminal program on the notebook

4. Power on the SunFire and insert Solaris 10, CD #1

Root Password is known

After the SunFire has been boot up, login as root and shut the system down to the firmware prompt:

# init 0

# svc.startd: The system is coming down. Please wait. bsvc.startd: 70 system services are now being stopped.

Apr 25 14:49:14 sunfire rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal. svc.startd: The system is down.

About navigation...

- The mouse cannot be used

- If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.

- Identify This System --- On the next screens, you must identify this system as networked or

non-networked, and set the default time zone and date/time.

If this system is networked, the software will try to find the information it needs to identify your system; you will be prompted to supply any

information it cannot find.

(3)

- Network Connectivity --- Specify Yes if the system is connected to the network by one of the Solaris or vendor network/communication Ethernet cards that are supported on the Solaris CD. See your hardware documentation for the current list of supported cards.

- Solaris Interactive Installation --- On the following screens, you can accept the defaults or you can customize

how Solaris software will be installed by:

- Selecting the type of Solaris software to install - Selecting disks to hold software you've selected

- Selecting unbundled products to be installed with Solaris - Specifying how file systems are laid out on the disks

After completing these tasks, a summary of your selections (called a profile) will be displayed.

There are two ways to install your Solaris software:

- "Standard" installs your system from a standard Solaris Distribution. Selecting "Standard" allows you to choose between initial install and upgrade, if your system is upgradable.

- "Flash" installs your system from one or more Flash Archives.

- Eject a CD/DVD Automatically? --- During the installation of Solaris software, you may be using one or more

CDs/DVDs. You can choose to have the system eject each CD/DVD automatically after it is installed or you can choose to manually eject each CD/DVD. [X] Automatically eject CD/DVD

(10)

- Reboot After Installation? --- After Solaris software is installed, the system must be rebooted. You can

choose to have the system automatically reboot, or you can choose to manually reboot the system if you want to run scripts or do other

customizations before the reboot. You can manually reboot a system by using the reboot(1M) command.

[X] Auto Reboot [ ] Manual Reboot

- Solaris Interactive Installation --- This system is upgradable, so there are two ways to install the Solaris

software.

The Upgrade option updates the Solaris software to the new release, saving as many modifications to the previous version of Solaris software as

possible. Back up the system before using the Upgrade option.

The Initial option overwrites the system disks with the new version of

Solaris software. This option allows you to preserve any existing file systems. Back up any modifications made to the previous version of Solaris software before starting the Initial option.

After you select an option and complete the tasks that follow, a summary of your actions will be displayed.

- Initializing --- The system is being initialized.

- Patch Analysis --- You have selected an upgrade from Solaris 10 to a Solaris 10 Update Release. Any patches that you applied to your system that are not included in the Update Release will be removed. An analysis of your system will determine which (if any) patches will be removed.

> To perform the analysis, select Analyze.
